4.00too much information in a short time, the guide offers a lot of data that cannot be assimilated in such a short time and does not allow questions during the tour.

5.00The mosque/cathedral of Cordoba is such an amazing place to visit. But to fully understand the history of this site, a guided tour is essential. Saray, with Viator, was an excellent guide. She was very knowledgeable and friendly and answered all questions. I highly recommended this tour company
